Drew a couple of #pixelart tombstones. Might even find a way to use them in Vampire Tactics...

And here's an example of Thomas using this very technique for the tilesets in Quartet.

There are many ways to make generic #pixelart textures much more interesting. Some are subtle, others more pronounced.

Tried a more illustrative approach for a side-scrolling #pixelart game setup

Folks, check out how we broke the game... ...they are now protecting each other for eternity 😂 Working on the skill system is hard, but super rewarding! 🤓🧛🏻‍♂️ #indiedev #pixelart

Check out the cool deckbuilder my friend made! Mechanics are inspired by Final Fantasy 7's materia system and this adds a few things you never saw in a deckbuilder. Also the project, promotional artwork aside, was entirely made by him. Music and everything, so it's an impressive solodev indiegame!

Like a Novice, we thought one night would be enough... Turns out even this wait feels eternal. We're hard at work on our Steam page. We ask for your patience. 🙏

We're back with "Pixelart for beginners", today we will draw plant growing animations. Join us on twitch! www.twitch.tv/cyangmou

"Pixelart for Programmers", a workshop which I co-hosted with @alemango.bsky.social at Games industry Conference 2025was very positively received. Participants said "We thought you'd show us how to draw, but what you did here was better and much more useful for us!" I am back at home again!

GIC is this weekend! It’s the event that first pulled me into the game industry, and it still feels special. This year I’m doing something new, group coaching for devs 💬✨ If you’re there, let’s meet, talk about games, burnout, or indiedev. ☕ #GIC #gamedev #indiedev #coaching

Happy #PortfolioDay! I am Thomas and I create pixelart for videogames. Currently I am working as an art director in the games industry. On Saturday I co-host "Pixelart for Beginners", a free pixelart course, which is for anyone with the desire to learn how to draw & create this artstyle.

AI guy steals from artists and @itch.io customer support doesn't do anything since weeks. I sent multiple tickets. Stuff got stolen from: @retronator.bsky.social @slynyrd.bsky.social @saint11.art @sadfaceart.bsky.social @androidarts.bsky.social Take it down: reactorcore.itch.io/deep-pixel-a...

The mystery why there is no "Pixelart for Beginners" today is solved...

"Pixelart for Beginners" is today on a planned break. We announced this already last week, so you got an additional week for preparing your homework. Alex and I are looking forward to see you back next week.

Die Projekte der @fm4.orf.at Indie Area auf der Game City Wien stehen fest! Wir sind begeistert, dass wir dieses Jahr rund 30 Indiegames aus Österreich und Umgebung präsentieren dürfen: fm4.orf.at/stories/3049...

Really nice marketing analysis on pixelart games. Writer knows his datapoint. I was very impressed. opgamemarketing.substack.com/p/so-youre-m...

This marketer pulled data on 6,422 pixel art games released over the last 2 years on Steam. Only 5% cleared 500 reviews. Here’s some fun data on the 5%. www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/c...

We're live with "Pixelart for Beginners" today we closely look at some games, got an amazing viewer paperdoll system to show off and at the end we will create some spritework. Join us on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/cyangmou

Not today, but next week on Tuesday, (September 9th) we shall meet again for the 92nd Vienna Gamedev Meetup at the Das Packhaus !

Your project is valid, even if it’s small. Even if it’s weird. Even if it’s still unfinished. It matters - because you’re making it. #indiegamedev #gamedev

Hey everyone! I'm currently looking for a pixel artist, preferably one with experience doing isometric art to create a cobblestone path tileset. It would be similar to the kind used in Tactics Ogre, but for 64x32 sized tiles. Paid of course. Post if you're interested! #pixelart #jobs #2dart

Quartet Review: + One of the best written party members of all time + Phenomenal Music + Beautiful Storytelling + Gorgeous Pixel art + Loved the enemies/boss encounters + Engaging Gameplay that make you want to explore every aspect of this game + My Game of the year 10/10 #Gaming

Sometimes, we know we’ll regret it—feel it deep down—but go on anyway. Maybe self-sabotage. Maybe just being human. Love is a Demon is about facing the mess we make. 💀❤️ Make mistakes and play on Steam or itch.io #loveisademon #indiegames #narrativegame #choicesmatter

Pixelart for beginners is live! Today we will create a paperdoll animation for the Occult Office cthulhu sprite below, maybe get around to add some color and also create some more sketches for pets. We got a lot of stuff to do today! www.twitch.tv/cyangmou

More art from Quartet. it's available now on Steam. Once more Decky shows wonderful map-craftmanship. I created the pixelart assets.

After 7 years of development, we are excited that "Quartet" is out now! A series of train robberies. A mysterious deck of cards. A fleet of deadly airships. An accidental mage. Choose from four stories, in any order, and discover how they intertwine in this turn-based RPG!
